Lytle, in fact, picked up two awards, which gives him 10 total fight-night awards in his storied career.

Cerrone earned the night’s “Knockout of the Night” bonus, Lytle earned the “Submission of the Night” award, and Lytle and Hardy took home “Fight of the Night” honors.

MMAjunkie.com
(www.mmajunkie.com) learned of the bonus winners and award amounts while at UFC on Versus 5’s post-event press conference.

UFC on Versus 5 took place at Milwaukee’s Bradley Center The
night’s main card aired on Versus, and the eight-bout preliminary-card lineup streamed on Facebook.

In his final fight before a previously announced retirement, Lytle posted another bonus-winning performance in the night’s headliner. He delivered on a promised slugfest with Hardy, and the strikers both landed heavy blows through the first few rounds of the fight. But when a fading Hardy surprisingly shot for a takedown in the final minute of the fight, Lytle secured a guillotine choke, pulled guard, rolled to top position, and forced the tap-out with just 43 seconds remaining in the fight.

All told, Lytle’s fight-night bonuses have accounted for an extra $515,000 in career pay.

Cerrone, meanwhile, earned his award in a featured main-card fight with Charles Oliveira. After forcing his lightweight opponent to the mat with a crushing uppercut to the gut, Cerrone stood over Oliveira and rained down additional punches to force a first-round TKO stoppage at the 3:01 mark of the round.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
